Re: [Harp-L] Ken Leiboff playing traditional music on harp & uke.

Ken Leiboff told be that he was playing "American music"  and of  course 
"Waltzing Matilda" couldn't be more Australian!
That was why I said "music in the traditional American style", when I  
shared the link.
All the best,

Very  nice Ken; but John, Ken's subject heading says 'traditional music' 
not  'traditional American music,' which 'Waltzing Matilda' is certainly not,  
coming from here in Australia, even if the melody might have started out in 
 Germany. Never have got to the bottom of this; there is another melody 
known  as 'the Queensland version' too, by the way.

This is excellent  harmonica playing, in a rack, while Ken accompanies  
himself on a  ukulele.

It is music  in the traditional American style, and I think that Ken  
Leiboff, who  comes from California, USA, plays it splendidly!
